Chapter 487: I’ve Caused the Holy Lord Much Trouble

Jiang Yuerou left Saintess Peak, but Lin Xun did not feel the slightest bit of relief.

In fact, Lin Xun now felt a slight sense of crisis.

He felt that this Jiang Yuerou had definitely sensed something.

Although he had hidden himself well, regardless of everything, he had still shown a tiny flaw.

And this Old Auntie, Jiang Yuerou, would definitely follow that small flaw and conduct frantic tests.

In short, in Lin Xun’s view, today was just a small beginning.

Lin Xun wanted to leave the Qianling Holy Land.

But the problem was, the moment he left, it would basically confirm the fact that he was Lin Xun.

If it were just himself, Lin Xun felt it wouldn’t matter much.

However, if Jiang Yuerou found out that “Lin Pei is Lin Xun” and then told Qinger, he would be in extreme trouble.

At that time, if Qinger found out he was Lin Xun, what kind of mood would she be in after he had deceived her for so long?

Would Qinger hate him?

To be honest, Lin Xun wasn’t very certain in his heart right now.

If it really turned into a “crematorium-style pursuit of the wife” later on, he would definitely have a massive headache.

But what should he do now?

He couldn’t leave.

If he stayed here, he would be under heavy suspicion.

“No, I still can’t leave!”

Lin Xun took a deep breath and shook his head.

It was just Jiang Yuerou’s suspicion of him.

Without real evidence, Jiang Yuerou would definitely not make a move against him.

After all, he was Qingshang’s husband, which meant he was the husband of her Disciple; she would definitely have to consider this layer of relationship.

In other words, as long as he could act a bit better from now on and not be suspected by her, there basically wouldn’t be any other issues.

After Jiang Yuerou left Saintess Peak, she also returned to her own courtyard.

In truth, Jiang Yuerou was naturally not completely at ease regarding Lin Xun.

In Jiang Yuerou’s heart, she suspected more and more that this Lin Pei was actually Lin Xun.

Although she didn’t have enough evidence, her intuition was very accurate.

In short, Jiang Yuerou would not give up this Opportunity; she would slowly test Lin Pei.

To see if Lin Pei was really him or not.

If he really was Lin Xun, then she wanted to see just how deep he could hide.

Of course, if Lin Pei wasn’t Lin Xun, that would naturally be for the best.

But if it really was that Lin Xun, what should she do?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuerou fell into slight contemplation.

“Forget it, I won’t worry about those things for now; I’ll expose his true face first.”

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuerou arrived at Saintess Peak once again.

Lin Xun’s head throbbed as soon as he saw Jiang Yuerou.

Originally, this Jiang Yuerou hadn’t even wanted to see him.

But now, she was coming to Saintess Peak so frequently.

It was as if she couldn’t wait to move into Saintess Peak.

“Holy Lord…”

No matter how uncomfortable Lin Xun felt in his heart, he still had to bow in greeting to Jiang Yuerou.

“No need for formalities. I will continue to guide your cultivation today.”

Jiang Yuerou looked at Lin Xun and nodded.

In reality, Jiang Yuerou was already calculating in her heart what she should do to make Lin Pei show his true colors.

“Is it still a sparring match like yesterday?”

Lin Xun asked.

Jiang Yuerou shook her head: “That kind of sparring is okay, but we shouldn’t do it too much, otherwise, you won’t be able to handle it. Today, let’s take it a bit easier.”

“A bit easier?”

Lin Xun was puzzled.

He didn’t know what kind of tricks this Jiang Yuerou was going to pull now.

In any case, this Jiang Yuerou would definitely not let him off easily.

“That’s right. Today, we will meditate. For a Cultivator, meditating to nourish the spirit is extremely important.”

Jiang Yuerou looked at Lin Xun and spoke slowly.

“In short, first sit in meditation, and then I will enter your body with a wisp of spiritual energy. You just need to meditate after that.

During this time, I will soothe your Spiritual Vein and Sea of Consciousness for you.

After all, when you are about to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, the Heart Demon in your body will cause you a lot of trouble.

If we do this first, you will be more clear-headed when facing your Heart Demon.

It will save you a large portion of effort.”

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble the Holy Lord.”

To be honest, Lin Xun really wasn’t sure what on earth this Jiang Yuerou was up to.

But it was nothing more than meditation; what could she possibly do to him?

However, it was absolutely impossible for this Jiang Yuerou not to have some small scheme; it was unthinkable.

Regardless, he could only go along with her wishes for now.

Lin Xun had no way to refuse and could only sit cross-legged in the courtyard and enter a state of meditation.

In order to truly not arouse any suspicion from Jiang Yuerou, Lin Xun completely locked his Realm at the Dragon Gate Realm.

By doing this, if Jiang Yuerou really wanted to kill him, it would be extremely easy.

Because for Lin Xun to unseal his Realm, it would take at least half a stick of incense’s time.

But Lin Xun believed Jiang Yuerou wouldn’t do that.

And as long as he kept his Realm completely locked in the Dragon Gate Realm,

Then no matter what Jiang Yuerou tried to do to him, it would be impossible for her to discover anything unusual.

Once Lin Xun entered the meditative state,

Jiang Yuerou first paced around Lin Xun a few times, then blinked her eyes and looked at him.

Jiang Yuerou sent out a wisp of Divine Sense, entering Lin Xun’s body.

Jiang Yuerou wanted to check if Lin Xun had separated a wisp of Divine Sense.

If Lin Pei did that, it would mean he was truly on guard against her.

Which would mean Lin Pei was definitely a person with problems.

However, to Jiang Yuerou’s surprise,

Lin Xun did not do so.

Immediately after, Jiang Yuerou sent out another wisp of Divine Sense into Lin Xun’s body.

This wisp of Divine Sense was actually a concrete manifestation of a Mind-Cultivation Technique.

This Mind-Cultivation Technique was not part of the Zilin Immortal Method, but an Opportunity Jiang Yuerou had obtained in a Secret Realm when she was young.

This wisp of Divine Sense could trigger a Heart Demon.

When the Ascension Realm Jiang Yuerou released this move, it was very easy for people with lower Realms to fall into demonic possession.

But if the opponent’s Realm was extremely high, then this Heart Demon would be helpless, and the opponent wouldn’t have any issues.

So, if this Lin Pei really had problems, it would be impossible for him to fall into demonic possession.

If this Lin Pei really fell into demonic possession, it would mean he really wasn’t Lin Xun.

As for any dangers involved, Jiang Yuerou would naturally suppress the risk to a minimum.

She wouldn’t let Lin Pei face any real danger.

Lin Xun, who was sitting in meditation, didn’t feel anything unusual; he was still meditating.

But at this moment, Lin Xun felt something was suddenly wrong in his heart.

Lin Xun felt signs of a Heart Demon emerging in his heart.

He even felt something was eroding his will.

And this thing seemed more like it wanted to draw out the memories deep within his heart.

Lin Xun knew this must be Jiang Yuerou’s trick.

But the problem was, even if he knew, so what?

Right now, he had already suppressed his Realm to the Dragon Gate Realm.

If he wanted to dispel it, he would have to unseal his Realm.

At that point, he would definitely be noticed by Jiang Yuerou.

But if he didn’t dispel it,

Then his inner heart would still be explored by Jiang Yuerou.

In other words, no matter what, his true identity would be discovered by Jiang Yuerou.

Was his identity really going to be exposed today?

Feeling that Heart Demon constantly surfacing, Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Lin Xun had already imagined that when his identity was exposed, Jiang Yuerou would come to blows with him.

Coming to blows was one thing.

The most important thing was that his identity would be exposed to Qinger.

And if Qinger knew he was Lin Xun…

In case Qinger then thought he had deceived her feelings.

Then everything that followed would be troublesome to the extreme.

Was there really no other way to escape this disaster?

Lin Xun’s brain was spinning frantically.

And just then, at this almost critical moment, Lin Xun suddenly remembered a Buddhist incantation that Wang Chen had taught him back then.

This incantation could protect one’s inner heart from being explored.

Not only that, the most important and miraculous effect of this incantation lay in…

It could silently guard one’s mind without being known by others.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xun began to recite the incantation Wang Chen had given him in his heart.

Soon, Lin Xun’s Sea of Consciousness was enveloped by Buddha-light.

Beside Lin Xun, Jiang Yuerou gave a soft “Hm?”, not knowing what had happened.

She clearly felt that she had already drawn out a bit of Lin Pei’s Heart Demon.

And this Heart Demon was about to hook into Lin Pei’s past memories.

But suddenly, this Heart Demon lost its objective and was wandering around aimlessly.

It was as if this Heart Demon had arrived at a desolate and boundless plain.

And this plain had nothing at all.

Jiang Yuerou didn’t know if it was her own problem or if it was this Lin Pei’s problem.

If this Lin Pei had done some trick, she hadn’t detected it at all.

So, could it be that this Lin Pei’s state of mind was pure and he had no Heart Demon?

After a short while, Jiang Yuerou withdrew her hand, and Lin Xun slowly opened his eyes.

“How is it? How do you feel now?”

Jiang Yuerou looked at Lin Xun and smiled.

“I helped you soothe your Sea of Consciousness just now; do you feel much more relaxed?”

“It does indeed seem to be so.”

Lin Xun stood up and cupped his fists in a bow to Jiang Yuerou.

“My thanks to the Holy Lord.”

“Mm.”

Jiang Yuerou nodded.

“Actually, your talent is really quite good.

Compared to Qingshang, it’s only slightly worse.

You are actually fully qualified to be my Disciple.

Oh, right.

I heard that when you chose a weapon before, you chose a long spear.

How is it?

How is your long spear practice going?

Although I don’t know much about long spears,

Perhaps I can give you some help.

Let’s spar a little now.”

“This… Actually, although this Disciple chose the long spear, I haven’t practiced much.

If I were to perform before the Holy Lord, this Disciple feels it would be quite embarrassing.”

Lin Xun tactfully expressed his refusal.

If he really used the long spear against Jiang Yuerou, she might recognize him.

“It’s fine, all Cultivators go through this.

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

If all the Cultivators in the world were afraid of losing face, then why be a Cultivator at all?

They might as well just be shrinking turtles.

Besides, who is perfect at the start?”

The more she heard Lin Pei refuse, the more excited Jiang Yuerou became.

“Alright, alright, as a grown man, don’t be so indecisive. Hurry up and bring out your long spear!”

“…”

Listening to Jiang Yuerou’s words, for some reason, Lin Xun felt a bit strange.

But Lin Xun knew he couldn’t refuse.

For Jiang Yuerou, she definitely wanted to see how his spear technique was.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

He definitely had to pass this hurdle.

After passing this hurdle,

Jiang Yuerou should no longer be suspicious of him.

He would then be safe.

Lin Xun didn’t hesitate any longer.

Too much hesitation would make Jiang Yuerou suspicious.

Lin Xun directly took out that long spear from his Storage Pouch.

This long spear was the one Qinger had given him back then.

“Alright, what insights do you have into spear techniques? Whatever spear moves you have, use them against me as much as possible, don’t have any restraints or hesitation.”

Jiang Yuerou pulled back a short distance from Lin Xun and said seriously.

“Yes, then I’ll ask for the Holy Lord’s guidance.”

Lin Xun took a deep breath, and then his long spear thrust out.

The spear technique Lin Xun used was something he had realized himself after learning the Zilin Immortal Method.

There were a total of three moves and two forms.

The Spear Intent and Spear Qi of these moves were a bit unfamiliar.

But they all had their merits.

Of course, the most important thing was…

These Spear Intents, Spear Qi, and spear moves were completely different from what he had used before; it was an entirely different style.

Lin Xun felt that if he could still be recognized by Jiang Yuerou like this, then he really would have nothing left to say.

And the final result was that Lin Xun was indeed not recognized by Jiang Yuerou.

Feeling those moves used by Lin Pei,

Jiang Yuerou’s brow furrowed slightly.

Had she really mistaken him?

He really wasn’t Lin Xun?

So, that Lin Pei in the Ten Thousand Demon Country just happened to have the same name; it was just a coincidence.

After realizing this fact, Jiang Yuerou couldn’t help but sigh, feeling both a bit disappointed and a bit relieved.

After all, if Qinger were Lin Xun’s wife, she really wouldn’t know how to handle it when the time came.

So now, this should be considered the best outcome.

“Alright, today’s training will end here.”

Jiang Yuerou shook her head.

“Starting tomorrow, you can begin your secluded cultivation. I also have some matters to handle outside.

Rest well; your future prospects will be limitless.”

“I’ve caused the Holy Lord much trouble.”

Lin Xun habitually twirled the spear and put it back into his Storage Pouch.

And when Jiang Yuerou saw Lin Xun’s movement of putting away the long spear, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
